Utilizing the max-width: 100% property for images is an effective technique in achieving responsive design. However, it is crucial for this property to be used in conjunction with an image container element that encapsulates the image to truly showcase its responsiveness.
To implement this successfully across different browsers, consider the following code snippet:
<div class="imageContainer">
<img src="http://www.example.com/image.jpg" >
</div>
In this setup, the image is enclosed within a div element. The corresponding CSS styles are as follows:
.imageContainer{
width: 100%;
max-width: 900px;
padding: 15px;
border: 2px solid blue;
margin: 20px auto;
}
.imageContainer img {
max-width: 100%;
}
